Best line in a song ever!

"Standing by your window in pain, pistol in your hand. And I beg you dear Molly, girl, try and understand your man as best you can ... "

The Band

Across the Great Divide

OMG, I didn't think anybody remembered the Band. They were great.

When You Awake you will remember ev'rything, You will be
hangin' on a string from your... When you believe, You will relieve the only soul
That you were born with to grow old and never know


Whispering Pines, The Weight, an endless treasure trove of lyrics from the mystical world of Mayberry, N.C.

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."

The Band is some good stuff. I "discovered" them when the Last Waltz came out on DVD a couple-three years ago. Great flick.

Bought up a bunch of their CDs. My favorite is the live one: Rock of Ages.

"when the Last Waltz came out on DVD a couple-three years ago"

It's been that long or longer. I was just surprised at how many different people they backup or sang with.

[Scott Campbell]

Funny, but I really don't listen to lyrics.

So who's gonna take all these great lines we came up with and make an original song from them?

I can write sports, I can write features. I cannot write music, nor can I produce it so that anyone who isn't tone deaf would want to hear it.

Lyrics,

There I was back in the wild again.
I felt right at home, where I be-long.
I had the feeling, coming over me again.
Just like it happened so many times be-fore. eh.
The Spirit of the Woods is like an old good friend.
Makes me feel warm and good in-side.
I knew his name and it was good to see him again.
Cause in the wind he's still a-live.
Oh Fred Bear
Walk with me down the trails again.
Take me back, back where I be-long.
Fred Bear
I'm glad to have you at my side my friend
and I'll join you in the big hunt before too long
before too long.

It was kinda dark, another misty dusk
it came from a tangle down be-low.
I tried to re-mem-ber everything you taught me so well.
I had to de-cide which way to go.
Was I a-lone or in a hunter's dream.
Cause the moment of truth was here and now.
I felt his touch I felt his guiding hand.
The buck was mine forever more!!
(chorus repeats twice)
